As many regular readers know - we have had many an exciting tale of adventurers posted on the board. Originally the plan had been to post Missy Hissy's story all in one thread and then add the other stories - but a funny thing happened on the way to the forum – Bungleau’s and bcftcs’stories became intertwined!
Many great minds* pondered this conundrum and the solution set forth in this new Sticky Thread is to create a “card catalog” of links to the stories, everyone’s stories.
Authors are invited to post links to their most excellent potboilers so that all may enjoy!!
Readers are kindly asked to not post within the Library as that would be the equivalent to talking: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! If you wish to compliment our great authors, we can have a "book signing" thread! lol!

Stackman’s Adventures

(The unofficial forum walkthrough)

I believe this index does great justice to the Stackman Saga by finally granting it the ability to be used as a walkthrough, for which it was also meant in the first place. I want to thank the whole forum in general for their superior knowledge without which this would never have been a waltkthrough, and, of course for their kind replies to my story. [img]smile.gif[/img] Often important clarifications were made in the threads of the single chapters. I want to thank Bungleau in particular for the excellent manner in which he saw to it that our two stories became intertwined. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The index contains following:

1) A link to all the chapters in the saga and a few related threads.
2) Dungeons – which chapters contain information on which dungeons?
3) Guild quests – which chapters contain information on how to complete them?
4) Characters – in which chapters do the various NPCs and monsters appear?

Characters encountered:
In alphabetical order. Only friendly NPCs with which one can have a conversation and monsters who either need to be killed in order to complete a quest or who guard a quest item are listed along with the chapter(s) in which they appear.

Solo Warrior: Missy Hissy's Adventures

A long, long time ago, I started playing a solo warrior, largely because the current belief in the forum was that it would be the hardest possible game. I've since changed my opinion, but while playing that solo warrior, better known as Missy Hissy, I went from simply reporting events to telling a story. And the story kept growing, and growing... and growing...

It took almost 18 months to complete the story. Certainly the game was done much earlier, but the actual story, the documentation of what happened... that took longer. And without bsftcs and Stackman's party, it probably would have taken forever... for that, I am eternally grateful.

Much of what happens in the story is factual, and intended to be a semi-walkthrough (although not as thorough as Stackman's adventures). Somewhere along the way, Missy Hissy came to life, and the whole plot line about Kerah and Missy's dad... well, they just suggested themselves. So don't go looking for them in the game...

When I get time, I'll format this properly to reflect all the chapters and the intermingling with Stackman's adventures. Until then, bear with me... and enjoy your reading.

The Story of the Peasants

A while back, I played a peasant game of Might and Magic. It's referred to as a peasant game because your initial characters start with absolutely nothing -- no stats, no skills, no equipment, no money, no hope.

I used the W&W Roster Editor to create a peasant party, just to see how it would play. If anyone wants the original peasant party, PM me and I'll send it over.

It was... different. Far beyond just being harder, it actually changed the scope of the game. The peasants' adventures are documented below... feel free to glimpse the hardest W&W game I have played yet...

The Den of Thieves

What could be more challenging than starting off a den of thieves? All rogues... no magic, no guilds until Ishad N'ha-ha-ha... gotta be tough, right? A while back, I took on this challenge, and it was one of the harder ones I've done. Amazing how hard life is when you can't usually hit the ground when you're swinging at it...

This isn't a full long story like Missy Hissy or the Peasants, but hopefully a bit enjoyable, just the same.
